Day 6 - Walk into Pigeonnier Refuge
This is a beautiful and easy walk up to the refuge where you will spend the night before attacking the summit of Les Rouies tomorrow.
You can walk up directly in about 2 1/2 hours or you can make a day of it and take in the Lac du Lauzon on your way which is a pretty alpine lake with a stunning mountain backdrop.
Once you get to the refuge you can either relax and enjoy the ambiance or go for a little scramble up in the rocks above the refuge.
The area is a great spot for ibex and other wild mountain animals!!
Your guide will meet you at the refuge in the evening and go through tomorrow's ascent.
George, the guardian who runs the refuge is a real character and will definitely make you welcome. It is one of the best refuges in the area! Just remember you have to get up at 4 in the morning before you get too carried away having a good time though!
